Heidi Trigar
Always one to follow her passions, Heidi’s career as a dancer and her love movement led her to yoga. Although the practice of asana was the initial pull, now the philosophy behind the shapes is what lights her up. With her love of movement and philosophy and with a deep knowledge of the way bodies move, Heidi brings all of her teachings from her many dance and yoga mentors with her into class to share the rich tapestry of yoga with the community.
Rachel Lewis
Yoga first came to Rachel almost 20 years ago while travelling through India but it was not until 2013 that she developed a consistent daily practice, at a time she was feeling a disconnect with her identity and sense of self. Yoga was like a coming home or an awakening. It helped her to shut out the noise of a fast-paced social media obsessed world. It taught her to quiet the mind, how to breathe fully and look deep within. Rachel sees Yoga as her life support – as a vehicle to shift energy, to strengthen and soften herself far beyond the physical. Her classes contain energetic flowing sequences with an emphasis on shifting prana, unravelling the ties that hold us back and connecting to one’s inner spirit. Rachel has completed 500 hours and is Yoga Alliance is 200 hours accreditation, as well as undertaking Reiki Level 1 and 2 training in India, and looks forwards to sharing with her students the essence of the ancient wisdom teachings combined with dynamic vinyasa krama.
Kellee Lewis
Kellee first discovered yoga in 2006 and quickly fell under the spell of its transformative magic. “Love is my religion and yoga is where I come home to myself, to tune into the beat of my wild heart” With a background in dance and a strong belief in the power of meditation and intention, Kellee enjoys teaching intuitive, dynamic flows with a focus on mindful movement. She encourages you to listen to your body’s wisdom, tune into the breath and be playful in your practice. You can expect to leave the class feeling centred, inspired and revitalised
Piper Montag
Piper’s love of yoga lies in connection - connection to the breath, body, inner self, and other yogis. Her practice and teaching follow the philosophy to use the asanas (physical postures) to get into her body, rather than using her body to get into the asanas.
Her vinyasa classes are a welcoming, community-minded space for you to explore yourself by linking breath and movement in dynamic vinyasa flows. In Piper’s classes, you can expect to find fluidity in movement as well as strength and mobility.
Piper is also studying medicine to become a holistic GP and sees yoga as a perfect practice for a healthy, mind, body, and spirit.
Kaela Raul
Kaela’s journey with yoga began 15 years ago when her best friend took her to a hot yoga class, and it was love at first breath.

In Kaela’s classes you'll find a beautiful balance of the soft and the strong, the mental and physical, and a strong emphasis on the breath - our life force. Kaela's hope for you is that you will leave her class feeling a deeper mind body connection. Aside from yoga, Kaela is also a passionate Human Design reader working to guide people back to the true essence of themselves, as well as a singing teacher who loves teaching each unique voice, and finding time to perform somewhere in there too!
